Spyce has support for Cheetah Templates: http://spyce.sourceforge.net/doc-mod_template.html as well as pooling: http://spyce.sourceforge.net/doc-mod_pool.html
Spyce templates are converted into python before execution, and you can enable caching in the Spyce configuration file. Spyce also comes with a script that will let you compile the templates on the command line so you can see the resulting python code (run_spyceCmd.py I believe). hope that helps, -jjr -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
